Résumé
Objective To explore the effect of 3M Tegaderm transparent film on prevention of puncture complications in patients underwent aortocranial angiography via the femoral artery.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on 200 patients underwent aortocranial angiography via the femoral artery from February 2012 to February 2014.Eighty patients without using the transparent dressing paste were as the control group,and other 120 patients using 3M Tegaderm transparent film for fixation of arterial sheath were as the observation group.The occurrences of complications,such as arterial sheath breakage,angiographic tube breakage,femoral artery spasm,bruises at the puncture site and subcutaneous hematoma were analyzed,and the feasibility and effectiveness of 3M Tegaderm transparent film for fixation of arterial sheath were assessed.Results The incidence rate of arterial sheath breakage,angiographic tube breakage,femoral artery spasm,bruises at the puncture site and subcutaneous hematoma were significantly reduced in observation group compared with those in control group [5.8％ (7/120) vs.26.2％ (21/80)] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Application of 3M Tegaderm transparent film with a low price and good security for fixation of femoral artery sheath can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications related to femoral artery puncture,which is worthy of wide spreading.
